Maybe if the hero was reading something super...Huh,<br />Maybe if the hero was reading something super interesting?<br />Not sure exactly what that might be. Plus down time can give your hunk a chance to go workout. Any activity where we can follow him and he can be contemplating such things as the mystery or his lady love is always good.<br /><br />Thanks so much for the thought provoking article!<br />Terry Kate<br /><a href="http://www.romanceinthebackseat.com" rel="nofollow">Romance in the Backseat</a>Terry Katehttp://www.romanceinthebackseat.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1969558921964931828.post-58237788924508821192009-07-22T00:50:02.846-05:002009-07-22T00:50:02.846-05:00Thanks for that bit of inspiration David!
You k...Thanks for that bit of inspiration David! <br /><br />You know, I think you're right about the heroes not reading, or reading much. <br /><br />However, I do have to say that Amanda Quick (aka Jayne Ann Krentz) does have heroines and some heroes that do read. It's interesting how she does it. Sometimes, it's the heroines who write, or some female connected to either the hero or heroine that writes. Sometimes, she likes to surprise the reader with the fact that the hero has read some of the adventure novels of the day. <br /><br />But you're right, I do believe that reading has too much of a stigma to it, unless it's a comic book or graphic novel.... <br /><br />Enjoyed the post, really insightful.<br /><br />CarrieCarriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13328970869069471833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1969558921964931828.post-75345391292641231352009-07-21T18:45:40.894-05:002009-07-21T18:45:40.894-05:00Thanks.

Sometimes I just write the scene and follow the 'don't get it right, get it written' policy and fix it with research and rewrites later. Other times, an issue will come up and I'll have to actually stop and research before continuing on. <br /><br />You're right; it's high praise when we come off as experts when in actuality it was dumb luck (or a sharp editor!) to get the correct words written and create the illusion!Molly Danielshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01488325587798390008noreply@blogger.com
